Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

I am using firefox on linux since ~10 years. Currently running latest FF on Kubuntu. I always had setting set to forget all cookies and session details except of search history on exit.

Since approx 2-3 weeks (latest update?) those settings don't work. FF remembers everything regardless of settings I chose.

Does anyone have idea why this is happening now and how to fix it?

I've rebooted, even did a hard reboot, total 3 times, tried system restore, 1 hour past update, deleted Firefox, reinstalled, still "in use", deleted Norton, still same. Reinstalled norton. There NO BUTTON, SWITCH, there! I can File, new blank page, still nothing. Sort of reminds me of automakers, all look alike! Left side, simple, turn on sc or import, at the opening first time, import short cuts and bookmarks from previous page, turn off Newsweek. Simple, without the hassle of now, those that have cleared, happy for you! For me same thing at the top, yellow bar, "in use!"

Many verification emails have been sent. None of the links work. It’s also next to impossible to find a way to reach you so my account doesn’t get deleted. Smh……..

There is a site I visit regularly that will not connect. I get an error 429 code. This doesn't happen with any other site I've used recently, and I can access the site with my iPad. I've tried clearing cookies and restarting the computer, but still can't get to this site. Any ideas?

I tried the firefox VPN. I Followed the instructions at:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn#w_are-any-websites-excluded-from-vpn-protection

But no 'VPN' button appears when I sign in (I am in a valid country and was told about the VPN by my browsers update). I have tried restarting and checking the toolbar, but the VPN button that is supposed to be there is not.

I had been using the Mozilla Firefox VPN for a few weeks, but now it will not launch. I sign in without a problem but when I click on the VPN icon on the toolbar, nothing happens. I just get the pop-up to try the VPN and "Get Started" (see attachment).

Please advise.

I am trying to activate the new free VPN feature, however your steps are not matching what's on my screen.

The first step from your [Set up VPN] article says:

"Look for the VPN setup prompt in the top-right corner of your Firefox toolbar.

   Click Next to begin the setup process. "

Yet I am not receiving this prompt.

I have logged into my account, encountered issues with my authenticator app and back up keys not being saved, and so signed up with a new mozilla account using my secondary google email. (This account I am raising this ticket with now. My primary account/email is [edited email from public] @gmail.com).

Hoping you can clarify or give an easy route into activating this wonderful new service you've announced. Am I right in understanding that it is different (ie. built-in and free?) to your Paid Service ?

I am having issues using the search functions on car rental websites for National, Enterprise and Alamo car rentals. I enter in all the needed info for location and dates, but when I search, I get an error message that says try again later. See attached screenshot. I am using Firefox 150 and Windows 11. Other car rental sites work fine and I've never encountered this issue before.

Hello! Is it possible to recover older open tabs from a broken device that had sync activated? For a while they appeared in the hamburger menu in the top right, but now they suddenly disappeared, and under the "connected devices" I cannot click the device or anything. It went broken 2-3 months ago. Best wishes!
